EPL side West Ham co-Owner David Sullivan "has furiously hit out at sections of the media" for an alleged "negative campaigning" regarding the club’s move to the London Stadium, according to Jack Austin of the London INDEPENDENT. The club left Upton Park during the summer after 112 years at the ground, but has been "plagued with troubles both on and off the pitch since the move to Stratford." Sullivan: "I have to say I am getting increasingly fed up with the negative campaigning against the stadium by some sections of the media. I find it particularly galling when the journalists who are writing these skewed opinions have not even been to the stadium! ... To put it into perspective at the Middlesbrough game there were five arrests -- all outside the stadium in the public park. It has not yet been confirmed which of these supporters are West Ham United fans" (INDEPENDENT, 10/12). The PA reported Sullivan said that he has had "plenty of positive feedback on the new stadium," thanking the "vast majority" of supporters who are "behaving impeccably and are really getting behind the team" (PA, 10/12).
